Officers continue murder investigation as one man remains under arrest

POLICE have issued a renewed public appeal as the investigation into the death of Corinna Baker continues, after her body was discovered at Netpool Boatyard in Cardigan on Saturday, November 15.

Officers were called to the boatyard at around 12:35pm following the report of a woman’s body. Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that Corinna’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

A man remains under arrest on suspicion of murder.

Following the discovery, there was an increased police presence in Cardigan, with officers cordoning off the Netpool slipway and nearby access roads. Late on Saturday night, a boat covered in black plastic sheeting was removed from the scene as part of the ongoing forensic examination.

In a statement released on Sunday, her family said: “We as a family are distraught at the loss of our beloved Corinna.

“She was much loved and she will be greatly missed by her whole family and all those who were blessed to have known her.

“We appeal to anyone who has any information however small to please come forward.

“We ask that everybody respects our privacy at this time and allows us to grieve in peace.”

Detective Superintendent Wayne Bevan said: “Our thoughts are with Corinna’s family at this understandably tragic time.

“We have specially trained officers supporting the family and ask that their privacy is respected.

“I urge anyone with any information, to please come forward and support our ongoing investigation.”

Detectives say they are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have seen Corinna, had contact with her, or witnessed any activity in or around the boatyard between 7:00pm on Thursday, November 13, and 12:50pm on Saturday, November 15.

A CARMARTHENSHIRE man has been jailed after admitting possessing a lock knife in a public place.

He admitted that on June 4, at Llanelli, he had a lock knife with him in a public place without good reason or lawful authority.
